Ukraine Intensifies Naval Warfare with Advanced Sea Drones

Ukraine's deployment of lethal sea drones marks a significant shift in naval tactics, targeting Russian ships in the Black Sea.

Ukraine's military intelligence agency reported a successful drone strike on the Russian Sergei Kotov patrol ship, killing seven and injuring six.
The Magura V5 and Sea Baby drones, developed by Ukraine, have become key assets in targeting Russian naval forces, with several ships reported sunk.
Ukraine claims to be the first country to establish a dedicated unit for producing sea drones, highlighting a strategic shift towards unmanned naval warfare.
The drones are equipped with advanced GPS, cameras, and can carry significant payloads of explosives, making them hard to detect and highly effective.
Funded through a government crowdfunding initiative, these drones represent a cost-effective method of inflicting damage on more expensive naval assets.
